Randomtest and Quicktest issues

Game Development ChoiceScript Help
1

I’m a noob to choicescript, have 0 experience with coding of any kind, but I’m getting interested in these kinds of games. I’ve typed out a little bit of a game, and need to check my progress to make sure I know what I’m doing, and it’s correct.

That said, I cannot figure out how to run the tests. I try to run the batch file with my game, but it’s not working all I get is a little scrap of gibberish text I can’t understand. I’m likely doing something so obviously wrong that it’s embarrasing, but I need a way to test it. I’ve also tried opening the html file in firefox, but all I get is a loading screen that continues to load forever.
Some help would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Most people use the .html file, but if you’re having trouble with that you have two options:

  • Open up the html version, press F12 to bring up your browser console and let us know what error is appearing there - we might be able to help.
  • Give up and download CSIDE - open your scene file(s) with it, then right-click the project and run your tests directly from there.

This is the entire message. I tried reading through it, but my pitiful knowledge of this subject just makes it seem like gibberish. Thanks in advance!

Looks like you haven’t extracted the zip file?

Hello! My Quicktest is not working anymore. I tried everything and i havent found any solutions in the internet.

It sais:

QUICKTEST FAILED
ERROR: couldn’t open web/mygame/scenes/start_up.txt

I dont know what to do…

And im realy sad, because now i cant work on my projekt anymore.

I would think it should be “startup” and not “start_up”–be sure your file is named accordingly.

I think your best bet is to use firefox.
